MONTPELIER The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) in coordination with the Federal Highway Administration is extending the public comment period associated with the Circ-Williston Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Section 4(f) Evaluation.
The original deadline for filing comments about the Circ-Williston Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) was November 8. That deadline has been extended to November 21, 2007. The Circ-Williston DEIS has been publicly available since August 10, 2007.
We received indication that some people want additional time to provide detailed comment, said VTrans Secretary Neale Lunderville. With a study of this size, giving the public an additional two weeks to file comments regarding this important project is reasonable and appropriate.
The DEIS can be directly downloaded from the projects website at www.circeis.org.
The DEIS also is available for viewing at the main public libraries in Burlington, Colchester, Essex, Essex Junction, and Williston; as well as at the Federal Highway Administration office, Room 216, 87 State Street in Montpelier; and at the VTrans project office at 20 Kimball Avenue, Suite 301, South Burlington. (Please contact Ken Robie at 802-828-2645 to ensure that the VTrans South Burlington office is open when you wish to visit.)
Comments should be directed to Kenneth Robie, Project Manager, VTrans, 1 National Life Drive, Montpelier, VT 05633-5001, 802-828-2645, [email protected] or Kenneth R. Sikora, Jr., Environmental Program Manager, Federal Highway Administration, Region 1, P.O. Box 568, Montpelier, VT 05601, 802-828-4423, [email protected].
